" The Science of Masofry . —As he prosecutes the business of the Lodge , the studious Mason employs his leisure in studying the liberal arts and sciences—that valuable branch of education which tends so effectually to polish and adorn the mind . Astronomy , with its world of discoveries ; music , with its soothing , fascinating influences ; architecture , with its various orders and their origin , commend themselves to his early attention , and lead the way for the contemplation of his
own sentient being—that most fearful and wonderful piece of God ' s workmanship , endowed with its amazing faculties and powers of perception . Especially does he delight in the study of Geometry , the original synonyme of Masonry . By the light of this science he may curiously trace nature through her various wanderings to her most concealed recesses , and discern the power , wisdom , and goodness of the Grand Artificer of the Universe . It discovers to him how the
planets move in their several orbits and demonstrates their various revolutions . By it he is enabled to account for the return of seasons and assign causes for their various interesting scenes . Being of a divine and moral nature it is enriched with the most useful knowledge ; for while it proves the wonderful properties of nature , it demonstrates the more important truths of morality . It elevates the mind from things mortal and transitory , and conducts it to the contemplation of
that One Supreme Iking 9 to whose name all created beings , from the highest seraph in heaven to the lowest son of Adam , should bow in reverence . Such are the teaching's of Masonry—such the work of the Lodge . In such a school there is ample scope for the most gifted intellect ; and it is plain that in such pursuits there is no place for the profligate , the idle , or the vain . "— From Pro . W . B .
